The Matriarchy of Norn Skuld is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by Skuld with a fair hand, and notable for its rum-swilling pirates, ban on automobiles, and multi-spousal wedding ceremonies. The compassionate, democratic population of 8.098 billion Norn Skuldians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The enormous, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Yggdrasil. The average income tax rate is 97.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Norn Skuldian economy, worth a remarkable 1,237 trillion Fatas a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Tourism. Average income is an impressive 152,784 Fatas, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Preschools put children down for naps with milk, cookies, and a gruesome story of vengeance, guide dogs for the blind have been seen using government websites, orphanages are closing their doors as the government forces parents to actually raise their children, and the government awards prizes to television shows featuring stereotype-breaking minority roles. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Norn Skuld's national animal is the Stag, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Norse Paganism.

Norn Skuld is ranked 35,268th in the world and 5th in The Goddesses for Most Stationary, with 1,277.90589741748 days.
